Duke: Earl, did you know we have no employees left? Earl: Well, I suspected it. No one was bringing me lattes. Duke: I guess I must have gotten carried away reining in costs. I just didn't know any other way! It leaves just you, me and the partners! Earl: Yup. Duke: So what're we doing to hold on to top talent? Earl: Sorry, Pop. Ain't gonna happen.
